You may try the following process:

Run VirtualBox as administrator (By default is installed in C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox)
Go to File -> Preferences -> Network (Left Navigation List) -> Host-only Networks (on the right tab)
Select an adapter and click edit (the small screwdriver on the right)
On "Adapter" tab set
- IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.201
- IPv4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
On DHCP Server Tab set
- Server Address: 192.168.1.100
- Server Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Lower Address Bound: 192.168.1.101
- Upper Address Bound: 192.168.1.199
Click Ok (Host-only Network details), click Ok (VM Settings)
Open Genymotion (as Admin), install a new virtual device (you have deleted all past devices) and start it

It worked with Genymotion 2.5.3 and VB 4.3.12, hope it helps !!

Can you see if it works with latest Genymotion 2.8.0 and VB? — Euridice01, Oct 19 '16 at 16:30

In my case (Windows 10 with VirtualBox 5.0.10 and Genymotion 2.6.0) i had to:

Go to network connections (run control netconnections from cmd)
Right click and properties on VirtualBox Host-Only Network
Enable VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver

Also some times it helps to delete the virtual device and to download it again.

my pleasure, also remember that if you badly need an android emulator, Bluestacks will do the trick – CDrosos Dec 09 '15 at 09:22

UPDATE: This is fixed in the latest Genymotion and doesn't happen to me any more.

NOTE: this is using Genymotion 2.5.3, VirtualBox 5.0.0 r101573 and updated Windows 10 as of today.

I'm having all kinds of problems as well, I finally managed to get it working:

Delete genymotion and virtualbox
Remove any unremoved files in folders like AppData and Program Files
Restart
Install Genymotion
Install VirtualBox latest
Run Genymotion as admin, just in case
Install an image that I didn't try before to make sure it's not using any cached data.

It worked fine.

Sometimes, I still freezes and stops working if I try to start a second device. The solution is to:

Close Genymotion, Android studio, etc
Force kill adb.exe and any VirtualBox processes.
Start Genymotion again and start a device.

Thank you Space Monkey, image is ova file? I used many solution for this but no solution was useful.. it is still problem for me. – Mustafa Jul 30 '15 at 00:13
I got it to work again by making sure I kill "adb.exe" before starting Genymotion. By "Image" I meant adding a new device from the list, that's all. – SpaceMonkey Jul 30 '15 at 02:29

Can you rejigger this answer to make it clear what solution it provides? At present it reads more like a "me too" comment. – Nathan Tuggy Aug 02 '15 at 01:17

Don't forget to "run as administrator". It was problem for me. – Mladen Rakonjac Aug 04 '15 at 15:28

Install the latest version of Genymotion(2.5.3) can solve the problem.

I've send a email to Genymotion to ask this problem, and I got this reply：

" Damien (Genymobile) Jul 30, 10:25 Hi, Thanks for your report! It will help us to improve our products. Old version of Genymotion were not working correctly with Windows 10. This has been fixed in Genymotion 2.5.3. Please download the latest version of Genymotion and try again. Best regards, Damien Genymotion Support Team "

Pasting the whole email is not really needed. I would say just the recommendation plus your source – Anton Sarov Jul 30 '15 at 09:04
It still has issues, starting a second device for example makes it hang. – SpaceMonkey Aug 02 '15 at 12:23
I have reset my OS ,then installed Genymotion and Vbox, it worked. – Qiuyu ZHANG Aug 02 '15 at 13:26
so you have to use the latest version of VBOX (5.x.x), it should work;) – Smaillns Oct 28 '17 at 14:36

Refer to this virtualbox thread: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14040

For me, as other answers suggested, using genymotion 2.5.3 and latest vbox works fine.

You can find latest test builds at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds

Hope it helps :)

EDIT Vbox now officially supports windows 10 and genymotion 2.5.4 also supports Vbox version (5.0.4) on Windows 10 see https://www.genymotion.com/#!/release-notes

Perhaps you could improve you answer a bit. Instead of just giving a link. – Mauker Aug 03 '15 at 15:28
You just saved my day! As an improvement to answer, here I got several "Virtual boxes ... devices", I've cleared them all. – guisantogui Nov 17 '15 at 23:06

Start Genymotion 2.5.3 in compatibility mode with Windows 8 - it solves the problem for me. VirtualBox 5.0.0 r101573 and Windows 10 Home (all for x64).

I was using 5.0.0 and was not working. Then updated to the latest (5.2.6) and it works now!! I tried everything else without success (did not tried the accepted solution, though). Thanks. – Victor Lee Feb 19 '18 at 19:17

Go to VirtualBox. File -> Preferences -> Network -> Select Host-only Networks.

Select one of the Ethernet Adapters -> Click the tool on bottom right of screen. The third button on the right.

Enter the following:
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.201 IPv4
Network Mask: 255.255.255.0.

No need to have DHCP Server selected. Hit OK and now you are good to go.

If you haven't done so, make sure to go to Settings and set Version to Windows 10. Also, update Genymotion to the most current version.

Nothing worked for me. I saw in one post that genymotion 2.0.3 will work out of the box. And it did. The only change I made was: 1. Uninstalled genymotion latest version and Vbox and restarted 2. Installed the last 4.x.x version of vbox 3. Installed genymotion 2.0.3 without installing vbox

its working fine for me now.
